Change (feat. Darrius Garret & Kmattik)

Have you ever felt like everyday is just the same thing, over and over again, like a record

That keeps on playing and repeating itself

Then you wake up one day, things aren't the same anymore

You start noticing that things need to change

You need to change, for the better

Woke up in the morning, wiped the sleep out my eyes

I'm realizing everyday that another brother dies

And it's sad that I feel this way, but I look up to the sky and say, maybe it'll be okay

I guess it's safe to say how it's been the worst

Living life feeling like all I am is cursed

Every since my birth, been a burden on my mind, saying the worst

Caught a brother stealing out of purse

Living in this situation, it's too hard to face

No perfect place, got me feeling like a disgrace

But I don't want to mess up and wind up with a case

Like my life's a bad apple, just leaving the bad taste

I'm just trying to be successful and change my ways

Withdrawing over pain, like my name was Mase

I'm trying to take my life to another type of phase

Where my mom's realized that her son made a change

You need to change if you want to make it

You need to change for a better day

Stop trying to say that you want to change

Put the words in action just start to change

You need to change if you want to make it

You need to change for a better day

Stop trying to say that you want to change

Put the words in action just start to change

All my life feels like I'm the only one

Walking behind a shadow, keep on doing what they told me

Now I realize this is my life

I will never be happy if I won't follow my heart tells me

Have you ever felt like every day is just the same thing

Over and over again

Like a record that keeps on playing and repeating itself

Then you wake up one day, things weren't the same anymore

You start noticing that things need to change

You need to change for the better

You need to change if you want to make it

You need to change for a better day

Stop trying to say that you want to change

Put the words in action just start to change

You need to change if you want to make it

You need to change for a better day

Stop trying to say that you want to change

Put the words in action just start to change

I remember back in high school

Man, eww

It was hard, it was hard, it was hard

Man, I've been 16 months, missing nature

Going to school, man, I had to be here

I don't know what, I don't know what to do anymore

You know what I mean

Never had much of a thing, Pop died when I was 13

Plus I'm twisted in the cyclone of early things

Never been so much as free, last days of slavery

Only thing promised to me was the penitentiary

I'm at the fork in the road, which way do I turn

All the mistakes that I made, plus the lessons I learned

Through trials and tribulations, barely kept my sanity

I've been fighting my whole life and that's what made

The man in me, the man in me

A young man without a place to call home

Can't consider living long in these streets I roam

Lay my pillow in the flame, scout burning to the brain

Skip class, puff pass, wasn't learning a thing

You can try and work around it, but the problem still remains

That it's a group of hungry teens and they starving for your change

I used to be one of them, there's not much that I can say

Look at the man in the mirror and it's time to make a change

You need to change if you want to make it

You need to change for a better day

Stop trying to say that you want to change

Put the words in action just start to change

You need to change if you want to make it

You need to change for a better day

Stop trying to say that you want to change

Put the words in action just start to change
